Welcome to my site on How to Draw Superheroes and Anime. What's really cool about this site is that it explains how the drawing basics for Superheroes and Anime stem from the same basic area. For the convenience of the users, I have separated my siteinto separate levels to make things a little easier. The levels are:

Beginner-for those who are just starting and need some help getting on their feet so to speak. This includes the absolute baisics from stickfigure skeletons to just plain stickfigures. This also includes how to "pipe" a stickfigure skeleton and turn those "pipes" into muscles or the characters figure. In terms of detail, it is minor.

Intermediate-for those who have some experience but want some help in other regions. Also, once Beginners complete their section, they can move on to this section to learn the basics of detail including shading and background.

Advanced-for those who just want to add a little something more when it comes to detail. This section is also for those who have completed the Intermediate section and feel they are ready to move on to the major stuff. This will include more advanced lighting effects and more advanced methods of adding detail such as a foggy or smokey background.

Also, depending on the type of drawing you want to go with (both forms basically stem off of the same principles), there will be tips for certain areas. But, when it comes to drawing there are three master rules. First: Go with it until you get it how you want it. Second: DON'T BE AFRAID TO USE YOUR ERASER! Third: Have fun with it! The whole thing is ment for enjoyment. Oh, and one more thing. I have also included tips to help people with drawing and some personal techniques that worked for me. If you have your own techniques, then by all means, use them! The entire puerpse of this site is to improve YOUR skill, so have fun!
